The Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) is an arts and culture hub for northern New Mexico's diverse communities. Founded in 1979, CCA is one of the oldest artist-centered organizations in the American Southwest, committed to supporting emerging and established artists. CCA draws more than 55,000 visitors annually for exhibitions, independent films, performances, and education/public programs. In 2009, CCA completed nearly $2 million in capital improvements to facilities, including major renovations to our galleries and theaters and greatly improving visitor experiences at our historic Armory campus location in Santa Fe.
